Method To understand the implications of […] -
Systematic Evaluation of Driver’s Behavior: A Multimodal Biometric Study
Abstract Complex traffic areas and high cognitive workload while driving are leading contributors to traffic crashes. Even though cognitive workload and stress have been previously assessed through various neurophysiological responses, they are rarely characterized simultaneously, limiting the triangulation of behavioral metrics (like drivers’ visual attention and facial coding) with physiological measures to investigate their interplay. […] -
Unsold is unseen … or is it? Examining the role of peripheral vision in the consumer choice process using eye-tracking methodology
In visual marketing, the truism that “unseen is unsold” means that products that are not noticed will not be sold. This truism rests on the idea that the consumer choice process is heavily influenced by visual search. However, given that the majority of available products are not seen by consumers, this article examines the role […] -
Workflows and individual differences during visually guided routine tasks in a road traffic management control room
